Actually i smeared more mud on the underside of the track guards.  And everywhere  :D

I alsof painted the straps  and all straps and belts on the infantry. Hoping to get them done by the end of next week.

I do my best!

Today i had the first taste of terror. Was in the middle of painting those straps, while the little one was supposed to be doing her afternoon nap, when after an hour  my wife said : i'm taking her back out of bed, she won't sleep.

Almost over with afternoon painting time!!!  ~X( ~X( ~X( ~X( ~X(

So nothing has happened on these during the week, but with a 5 day leave from work, i hope i can get these done!

Although i have got a message that my parcel from warlord games will arrive on monday, so there might be some "lag"  :D

I went in on the deal on terminator genisys last weekend. Getting the base game, a box of resistance fighters and a box of endoskeletons, another sprue of each of the former, an extra rulebook, the deluxe playmat, an endoskeleton heavy weapon booster and the John Connor and Lt booster.

Maybe i can get the panzergrenadiers done by sunday evening, so i can 'flow' right through and get cracking on assembling terminators!

Forgot to ask,Anybody else who owns the terminator game, or did somebody play it?

I have read it's Alessio Cavatore's best and most streamlined game so far. The playthrough on beasts of war looks promising!

I like his rules design and actually play a lot of his games: LOTR strategy battle game, kings of war , and bolt action gives a nice game as well (although it's a bit "gamey" for WW2, it is great when playing as a group, with some nice banter).

Too bad it was a bit of a "miss" for them. Lots of the interesting stuff is out of stock, and it looks like it is dying. Getting that bundle deal on warlord games was a bit with mixed feelings actually, as it feels a bit like a closeout sale. Always a sad thing if a game (or line) fails to shine. Especially if 99% of the reviews/playthrough's are positive. But that's the risk of tying your product to a license/movie. IF the movie gets bad ratings, you probably suffer from it.

All I know about the Terminator game is watching that same Beast of War video so I can't really help you there. 

It is interesting how many existing IPs get miniatures games released these days.

Germans are looking good.

Thanks guys!

The standard of my painting is slowly getting worse though, bit tired of all the camo colours. Feels like i'm rushing through. After the us airborne, it might be time for someting completely different! (or maybe i can sneak something in before i start them?)

I've got the Terminator game, bought the bigger boxed set with the full rule book and ltd ed Lt figure when it was on sale last year, I then bought the smaller box off a cut price website for around £7. I've not seen the Genisis film so I can't comment on the accuracy of the resistance figures but to me they seen too uniform so I'm planning to mix in some of the ex Wargame Factory Survivor figures and convert some plastic figures into infiltrator terminators using bits from the terminators as the exposed metal skeleton.


There's a lot of stuff on the River Horse website.

Still haven't played it yet or painted the figures I have assembled.

Regards,

Martin
Now they've knocked me down and taken it, that still hot and smoking gun.

I have the big one as well. Already planned to cannibalize a crawler to make an infiltrator or two. Guessing i can make a "gunslinger" terminator with two rifles from leftover guns from the resistance fighters.

speaking of the resistance fighters, i will see if they can take a head from a bolt action kit. I have quite some bareheaded and  service cap heads leftover so maybe i can give them a bit more individuality!

the terminator models are actually pretty nice, i just assembled a couple to see how they look!
